Starship spacecraft launch pad after crash will be repaired in 2 months, says SpaceX founder Elon Musk.
The Starship spacecraft is designed for deep space flight. It was due to make its first flight on Thursday. The tests ended in a loss of control and an explosion at an altitude of 38 km.
As noted, during the launch, the launch pad sustained significant damage.
“Looks like we could be ready for another launch in a month or two,” Musk tweeted.
According to him, the damage to the launch pad is due to the fact that the cement could not support the loads during the launch of the super heavy rocket. At the same time, SpaceX planned to build a water-cooled steel plate, but did not have the time.
Starship is the largest and most powerful rocket ever built for space launches. With the accelerator Super Heavy Starship reaches a length of 120 meters.
